Our AGM and buffet supper was held on 4th July. Some members of the committee stood down after many years of dedicated service, thanks were given and a new committee was elected. The previous year's events were reviewed concluding that the numbers attending meetings had been good, although different meetings attracted different members. The AGM felt that this just reflected the diverse range of interests that had to be considered when arranging meetings. There followed a useful discussion about the year ahead and demonstrations of useful equipment and resources.
